I'm at school on a Sunday morning. Shouldn't be here. Silvia's student doing last minute preparations for Tuesday's exam. Figured I've got some time to blog. And have Mcdonald's

Big Breakfast after so long. It's not as good as it used to be. :(

Come to think of it. Nothing much happened recently. Highlight of past few days would be attending to very contrasting concerts. Though both Christian at the very core. But how it was organized was distinctly different.

Jaeson Ma's Music Evangelism, that's what they call it, was held on the 18th and 19th. Had cell group on the 19th so opted to go on the 18th. To my 'horror', there was a ticket charge of RM20. Made a 'big' fuss over it on their Facebook page. I even had an honorary mention during the pastor's offering challenge. Clarify again, nothing against Jaeson Ma, but from a musician's point of view, RM20 for some guy 'rapping' 3 songs, you've got to think twice. To be honest, from a Christian's view, it might be worth it, but again, who are we selling the tickets to?

Now there was another concert happening on the other side of town. Aubrey Suwito got together the top musicians in Malaysia to hold a Christmas concert on the 19th and 20th. I heard it was for charity and they want to record it live so they can sell DVD's during Christmas. Even if you're not a musician you're bound to know who's Jaclyn Victor. Well, if you didn't, you'd still enjoy the concert. The who's who in the music scene was all there. And those we celebrity artist because they're that good, not because they look good. :) I arrived late due to work, reached there around 9.15pm. 15 minutes late. To my surprise, there was no parking left. The closest spot was more than 5 minutes walk away! The hall was full. We sat at the foyer. The music still sounded so good from the television's speakers. Did I mention it was free? And did I mention they actually played more than 10 songs? All rearranged. Very good stuff. Should get a hold of that DVD when it comes out.

Oh, and did I mention that I was late to PGRM on Wednesday night. Also because of work. From Bangsar to Cheras takes time during rush hour. It was pasar malam night too. The longest in town. Ok. Show was supposed to start at 8pm. I heard that they started late. We arrived 8.45pm. Sat at the back. Behind us was one-third of the seat. Empty.

Maybe we're Malaysians. Maybe we're Chinese. But there's a reason why free stuff still has the appeal. Unless you're good. And rappin' ain't our culture yet.

Oh, my dad seldom forwards mail. So when he does, you'll bet it's important. Title of it. Soursop: Cancer Busting Properties 10,000 Times Stronger Than Chemo!

Off to church soon! Excited! We got Eitan a bike. :)

Figured I've got time to kill while waiting for Silvia to finish her lessons.

Went bowling with Robin and Wen Sen. Last I recall bowling was in secondary school. My personal high just now was 90. Had 2 strikes. Hehe. Cosmic Bowl has this 3 games/RM10. Pretty good deal. Right arm and left thigh sore now.

Attributes is having a store-wide 20% discount. If I sang 'Negaraku' a futher 5%! Bought most of Max Lucado's books. Currently rereading one that I got in 2004. :)

Took this from Keith's status: Just done reading a book by Craig Groeschel. good read! I'm inspired by @sidmohede he reads 1 book a week! A leader is a reader.

Tonight we'll be going to Jaeson Ma's Only Love Music Rally. It's going to be good. Been hearing lots of good things about him. :)

And last but not least. Dad, happy birthday! :)

It has been horrendously hot recently. Ray has taken 5 baths today! Had a refreshing thunderstorm at night. Even more refreshing was the weekend sermons by Pastor Tan Seow How. It was mind-blowing for me. Getting me all hyped for Asia Conference next week! =) Talk about real fans!

Congratulations to China. Worthy winners of the Thomas Cup. Grateful I did not buy tickets to the finals as they swept 3-0 again.

Fortunately, I spent my afternoon at Sunway Pyramid 'shopping'. Initially we were supposed to find something around RM30 as we've got Parkson vouchers. They were selling South Africa World Cup briefs. But I opted for my trusted Pierre Cardin in the end. ;)

Passed by a pet shop and they were selling hermit crabs! They did inform customers not to buy out of impulsion but I thought I could provide it a decent home with my empty aquarium. Been wanting to have it as a pet. Been somehow I'm not very keen on giving names to them. If I had to, they'll be Jellybeans! :)

Then Silvia got me a new pair of Nike! Been so long since I last wore Nike shoes. Around 2 years? Haha.

Enjoying a cup of hot drink with another gift from Silvia. Billabong mug. Watching Celtics trash Magic. Sweet!

That should be it for the time being. Braced for my last week of work before my Singapore holiday! Hallelujah!

It's been quite a while since I last blogged. It really has been a boring week. Trust that next week will be much better! :)

The Final Solution had an amazing story line. A snippet of Jesus and the cross.

Here was how my week has been according to iCal. ;)

Monday: Morning - Sleep in. iMac. Afternoon - Work. Teach. Night - Comand & Conquer Generals. Criminal Minds.

Highlights: Redeemed 4 cups of free coffee from McDonalds.

Tuesday: Morning - Sleep in. iMac. Afternoon - Work. Teach. Night - Command & Conquer Generals. Criminal Minds.

Highlights: Cakes from Gourmet. Pictureka.

Durian and Banana. Amazing!

Wednesday: Morning - Sleep in. iMac. Afternoon - Work. Teach. Night - WVC Trio + 1. Manchester United vs Bayern Munich.

Highlights: Steam Chicken Rice. Upper Thigh. ;)

Adorable twins.

Their 16th stop I guess. Life of a musicians. Not so glamourous. At my teacher's standard, he still had to come out with money for his air tickets. Last stop at Kota Kinabalu on the 17th of April. Pianist is Cher Siang - judge of last year's Kota Kinabalu Music Festival. Trust me, you'll be entertained!

Thursday: Morning - Sleep in. iMac. Afternoon - Work. Teach. Night - Cell Group. Command & Conquer Generals. Criminal Minds.

Highlights: Ate Domino's Pizza for lunch, dinner, and supper. Woke up too late for breakfast.

I wonder why my highlights are food related? :p Seems like it's not just me who get excited over food. Personally think that food is the most photographed item. Right?

So there goes. I thought life would be nice if I could do nothing everyday. Doesn't seem like it. :(

Oh, my toe is healing. =)

And a picture I've wanted to post. Ta-da! Me and Silvia appearing on a magazine cover. :)

It is so hot here. Need to go shower!

I've only got 3 more holidays until my December holidays. I've got 2 of them planned. Especially excited for the upcoming one in May!

Asia Conference! It's going to be HUGE. Believe it'll be bigger, better, and more impacting than the previous one. RM250 for the bus tickets to Singpore, 6 nights, and the shuttle buses. Thanks City Harvest Church! =) Can't wait to see Cho Yonggi in person. Reinhard Bonke's going to be there too. Calvin, too bad you're in England. ;)



And what's more is we're planning to visit Universal Studios Singapore! Pray that all the attractions will be in its best conditions, cloudy but no rain, and less queue-ing. ;p It'll cost only S$66. I think it's worth it.





Then I'm still wondering whether to visit Night Safari or not. Seems pretty costly for just a few hours. And wonder if I'd get to see the most of the animals. S$22 for the entrance ticket and another S$10 for the tram ride. Almost half of the theme park all-day ticket. Then there's also the Singapore Zoo. As Carrie puts it, 'choices choices choices... You're never that easy, ya know?'



Anyways, Earth Hour tonight. 8.30pm-9.30pm. Thinking of what to do then as we're so dependent on electricity. Mom did manage to get those kind of 'scent candle lamp' from Ikea the other day. Should have gotten one myself. Thank God Manchester United plays later in the night. To any Bolton Wanderers fans (I doubt), wrong time to have us as opponents.

Glory, glory Man United...

Another brand new week. Highlight would be Mom coming over. :)

Much happened over the weekend. Went to Alexis Bristro for a gig. Jazz Latino. Got lost in KL for more than 45 minutes. Very frustrating. Watched From Paris with Love too. I'll give it a 3 out of 5. John Travolta adds another half maybe. And a triple delight last night.

A Ferrari 1-2 finish at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

An emphatic 3-0 win over Fulham. Rooney scored a brace.

Berbatov was man of the match with a goal and a fantastic assist.

Completing this fine day was Chong Wei winning his first ever All-England. :)

Got myself another corn plaster. Carnation brand. Pray that it works better than Scholl!

Trying to remove my corn. According to the pharmacist I've got to use 'brute force'. Viewer's discretion.

Mila with her shirt/cloth. I don't know what's that. What's cool is she got her name on it. ;)

Lara. Not my student. Just tagged along 'cause she's going to Anne's house for sleepover. I miss doing that. ;)

Silvia has finally decided to learn how to drive. Not exactly a diving tutor myself. Watch out for her 'middle' finger. :)

Listening to an argument about Jesus' tomb that was discovered. Interesting. Jesus had a son - Jude. Unbelievable. :)

And while on the tomb topic. Joel's preaching last week was amazing. He talked about Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Before doing so, He said, 'Roll over the stone'. Joel stated that if He could raise the dead what's so difficult in rolling a stone. He concluded that God won't help us in the things that we can do. Only when we do the natural, He adds in the super, thus supernatural. =)

All the best to my students that are sitting for their theory exams! ;)

It's an early Saturday morning. Somehow I can still hear lots of car on the highway. I guess there's no such thing as a 5-day working week anymore. Same goes for me. This probably explains why I'm sick now. Of course I owe it more to the weather! Very hot during the day, then thunderstorms in the evenings. I bet today's going to be the same too.

Friend's night turned out to quite nice. Had much fun. Even brought home a Starbucks voucher! Thank you City Harvest! The main performances were An Honest Mistake (indie band) and Shawn Lee (beatboxing). Not really my cup of tea but I guess it hypes up everyone.

I won a Starbucks voucher for answering the question : Who is the new American Idol 2010?

Here's Zavier and Ivy representing 'red' (Kristy's subzone) in 'Sing and Taste'.

Our official photographer - Wen Sen. :)

Keith - the man in West Zone.

Hendra enjoying a 'Lucky' moment with Joy. :)

My new student - Joslina (not very sure how to spell). The peace sign was her idea.

I suggested this. ;)

My group class children attempting to share a burger from Bryan. How sweet! =)

Cute round backlights. Bet this car belongs to a lady.

Today's schedule: Pan Mee - Teach - Vincent Chin - Alexis.

Monday mornings are the best! Work starts at 10.30am so I can take my time. Coffee. Blog.

Last night Silvia felt like eating cupcakes. So went to d'lish to get some. Take away. Her's was chocolate. I choose banana chocolate. It turned out that I had to 'assemble' it by myself at home.



Slicing the banana and pouring the chocolate was still ok.



Here was when disaster struck! The whipped cream.



Well, it still goes through the mouth and into the stomach right? ;)

Friend's night for west zone is this coming Thursday and Friday night. Since our cell group normally meets up on Thursday so we're attending the first night. Subzone dress code : red. I've only my Manchester United jersey to show for. Hope I win the iPod touch. :p



Agenda for tonight. Psych. Epl highlights. FM2010! =)
